Several people have pointed out to you that disable-output-escaping is bad and unnecessary in this situation. If you have been on the list for less than 24 hours, then you may not realize why. disable-output-escaping requires a special secret interface between the XSLT processor and the serializer. It breaks the rule that the XSLT processor is creating a tree, and the serializer is turning that tree into a stream of bytes. In your example you show the output as <tr><?javax.xml.transform.disable-output-escaping ?> This has exposed the "secret interface", which is formalized by the JAXP API in terms of processing instructions. This happens when the XSLT processor uses the secret interface, but you supply your own serializer which doesn't understand it. I suspect you sent the output of the transformation to a SAXResult or DOMResult rather than to a StreamResult, and then serialized it using a non-XSLT serializer. This all goes to illustrate how bad disable-output-escaping is architecturally. There are cases where d-o-e is needed, for example when your source document contains HTML in a CDATA section and you want to copy that HTML, unparsed, to the output document. Writing a simple NBSP character is not such an example. In 90% of cases where you see d-o-e used in a stylesheet, it should not have been used.
